Tasting - Chateau Morrisette Nouveau Chien

Name: Chateau Morrisette Nouveau Chien
Variety: Petit Manseng, Traminette, Chardonel, Chardonnay, and Viognier
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $15

Winery Review: This floral blend of Petit Manseng, Traminette, Chardonel, Chardonnay, and Viognier has a beautiful nose of honeydew melon and lemons. The palate is dry and crisp with a lively acidity through the finish. This wine pairs well with shellfish, crab cakes, and oysters. Best served between 50-55ยบ F


My Review:
I am not a big fan of white wines but this was pretty good. I thought the nose was overtly tropical with a hint of pineapple. The taste was also tropical with a slight lemon on back. It was enjoyable with a crisp, clean finish. I would definitely get this again.
